Colorado Governor-Elect Weiser Announces Cabinet Appointees Including Simpson for Agriculture
Colorado Governor-elect Phil Weiser announced in Denver on November 10 a round of cabinet appointees, including a former Senate Democratic leader, a former mayor and the Republican Senate minority leader.
State Sen. Cleave Simpson will be nominated as Agriculture Commissioner. Simpson, the Republican Senate minority leader, has represented Alamosa and southwest Colorado since 2021 and has served as general manager of the Rio Grande Water Conservation District since 2016; his nomination requires state Senate confirmation. Former Fort Collins Mayor and former State Rep. Jeni Arndt will serve as Director of Rural Advancement, a role Weiser pledged during the campaign to elevate to cabinet level.
Also named were Scott Steinbrecher, currently Deputy Attorney General for Natural Resources and Environment, as Senior Director of Water Policy, and Dominick Moreno, a former Senate majority leader who twice chaired the Joint Budget Committee, as Director of the Governor's Office of State Planning and Budgeting. Weiser said the team reflects a commitment to collaboration across the political spectrum. (Source: Transition of Colorado Governor-Elect Phil Weiser)
